Absolutely! The BBC sports coverage is pathetic!

How do they handle it?????.....





.......I'd suggest calming down and getting a life, considering you have just spent 80 minutes watching the match live.....There are more things to get worked up about than a missed video recording.

so you weren't one of the many on here complaining about the bbc's attitude towards rugby when it happened as well?

All i am saying is that how pathetic that they don't value our sport enough to keep a whole 80 minutes on the same channel.

Sky managed to cock up boots an all this week for me. Sky + it last weekend for wednesday 9pm as i was working nights. Got up thursday afternoon to watch it and ended up with an hour and half of federer and some other bloke playing tennis. Even said boots an all in my planner. But if it was ITV showing boots an all i would have had to set the planner for some obscure hour i.e 3am and then find i had sky+ an hour an half of jeremy kyle instead of what turned out to be a decent tennis match. I know this adds nothing to the BBC v ITV argument but thought i'd mention it anyway.

I hate to break it to you, but we are a minority sport, and not many in the media, BBC or not, 'value' our sport.

Just be grateful that somebody on terrestrial TV actually shows it....The reality is that if the BBC dropped it, then nobody else would step in, as it just isn't a viable option in this day and age.

are you always so condescending? i know we are a minority sport, and i know that there is value in our sport because otherwise sky wouldn't put money into it and it wouldn't be the 2nd most watched sport in the country.

Maybe no-one else would pick it up, but why does that mean the BBC should treat our game like a ing game of chess and split it however they feel. It's embarassing for the sport, but if you feel that's okay then so be it.
